CF card in internal hd enclosure trouble
« on: March 25, 2017, 05:12:33 PM »
I've removed the dust again on my amiga after 10 years of storage.
I'v bought to cf card adapters from Amigastore.eu and done the recap.
As a final touch I thougt I should drop the second adapter in a hd caddie/enclosure for easy removal if I want to copy files from my pc. Similar type as the one in the link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobile-Rack-Removeable-Frame-for-2-5-3-5-HDD-ZIP-MO-ATA66-With-Fan/302249691092?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3Df3f3ff2322a54c96941216bacd553d2f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D171015314342

But for some strange reason my amiga will not boot properly with the second card in a caddy. It gives read error during boot.
Both cards are on seperate channels on my powerflyer/fastATA board.

Why doesnt it work?

The only thing I can think of is that the caddys I've tried have a internal 80wire/ata66 ide cable. But that should matter, should it?
I've tried enclosures from two different vendors. Both fail.

Any thoughts?

Picture of error and how the cf adapter is in the caddy.

Tried swapping cf adapters. It's  the same. Also noticed that these adapters cant be on the same channel as master slave.
Kickstart is 3.1, os is 3.9. Drivers from elbox is afaik the latest recommended, but last updated 2006'ish. Trouble is that the error comes before anything is loaded as you can se from the screenshot.

When cf-adapter is connected directly to the controller all is ok.

When you mention it... They are old. Could be bad connection between the frame and the caddie.
I guess I'll probably just whip out my dremel and build a frame or something for the adapters that fits in the same space.
